Purchased this plant as a 2-gallon specimen perhaps 15? years ago. Was not cheap...Told they are very slow growers, therefore the price.

Not native in my area, but wanted one. Has grown from 1 1/2 foot shrub to 5 feet plus today... despite droughts, floods, my neglect since its first year in the ground, and assaults by a husband who never learned the damage a weedeater can do to the trucks of trees.

Now covered with blossoms again this year... and being visited by countless unidentified butterflies and bees. Oh that my patience and photography skills were better!

I am not posting this as a plant observation... obviously "cultivated plant", but the advantage of having this magnet in my backyard has provided me with several iNat insect observations.

And by the way... I think the sweet fragrance is nauseatingly.
